PAYNE CARGO (8) struggled for best form latest, finishing 4th (18.62) in a NG at Dubbo. Has never missed the frame here at the trip including nine wins. Has never missed the frame from six starts from this draw, including three wins. Tough to beat if on-song. ARMATREE PASTA (2) was below best last time at Dubbo (18.63) in a NG, finishing a 7 length fifth. Boasts a top strike-rate from this draw, winning three of five runs. Looks one of the chances. AVA'S MILO (1) produced an impressive win last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 0.8 lengths (19.38) at this track. Harder here but expected to measure up. SHREWD ETHICS (5) is a last start winner who rates one of the chances again.

Comments

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 340m in 19.38 last start, beating Cookie Man. Last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.

Was a winner three back at this track then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when fifth (18.63) at Dubbo. Suited here and expected to bounce back.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 380m at Townsville. Others read better.

Missed the frame last start when fifth and beaten 8 lengths at Dubbo. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Others appear better placed.

Didn't make the placings last time at Dubbo (18.62) in a NG, finishing a 7 length fourth. Boasts three wins and three places from six starts off the draw. Looks well placed and should feature.
